Run out of Faces
I’ve run out of faces that I can be,
I’ve tried sad, I've tried happy,
They don’t work for me.
I’ve tried wearing angry and tried wearing fear,
But neither of those really came out clear.
I’ve worn anxious a couple times,
Something didn’t feel right.
I had the same feeling before,
When I tried on weird and tried on fright.
None of these suit me,
I’ve tried them all before,
I’ve gone through every shape and shade,
And feel there must be more.
I tried on hopeless and tried on guilt,
Those were nothing but fake to me,
I tried on tired...
I’ve tried sad, I've tried happy,
They don’t work for me.
I’ve tried wearing angry and tried wearing fear,
But neither of those really came out clear.
I’ve worn anxious a couple times,
Something didn’t feel right.
I had the same feeling before,
When I tried on weird and tried on fright.
None of these suit me,

And feel there must be more.
I tried on hopeless and tried on guilt,
Those were nothing but fake to me,

Imitation
There must be something wrong with me
Some sort of technicality
Some sort of missed connection in my mind that will eventually,
Deteriorate my very soul,
My body, heart, and mind as whole,
Self destruct from all the wear and tear that's finally taken all its toll.
What foolish hope in mortality,
That somehow I thought eventually,
These things would fix themselves and not lead to fatality.
So take away my heart and brain,
Redesign my body's frame,
Reprogram these formalities of hopelessness and loss and pain.
Insert instead of bone and flesh,...

Love a Shadow
I hunger for your love my dear
For your red lips pressed to mine
Come to me, there is nothing to fear
I thirst for you and love divine
Bring your body close to me
And let me taste you so
Close your eyes and be set free
And feel this darkness grow
Bring to me your eyes my love
Burning fierce with wild fire
Bring your purity here my dove
Bring your blood that I desire
Offer your mind and heart to me
For I shall keep them sheltered
Offer your eyes so you may see
This darkness that I treasure
Come my love, give me all you have...
For your red lips pressed to mine
Come to me, there is nothing to fear
I thirst for you and love divine
Bring your body close to me
And let me taste you so
Close your eyes and be set free
And feel this darkness grow
Bring to me your eyes my love
Burning fierce with wild fire
Bring your purity here my dove
Bring your blood that I desire
Offer your mind and heart to me
For I shall keep them sheltered
Offer your eyes so you may see
This darkness that I treasure
Come my love, give me all you have...

We Live in a World
We live in a world of taped up faces,
imaginary hopes and forgotten places.
A place where who you are is s crime,
A place that exists outside of time.
The world is turning the wrong direction,
Misplaced trust and fake affection.
A place where your body is worth more than your heart,
Where we accept cruelty and evil as art.
A place we were told to confide,
To a mysterious man with a judgmental mind.
Where wandering hands are welcomed and loved,
Where it will grant you an audience with those up above.
Where money is less than a beautiful face,...
imaginary hopes and forgotten places.
A place where who you are is s crime,
A place that exists outside of time.
The world is turning the wrong direction,
Misplaced trust and fake affection.
A place where your body is worth more than your heart,
Where we accept cruelty and evil as art.
A place we were told to confide,
To a mysterious man with a judgmental mind.
Where wandering hands are welcomed and loved,
Where it will grant you an audience with those up above.
Where money is less than a beautiful face,...

I Used to Call You Lover
I used to call you lover,
And yet you’ve left me even so,
I cherished you like heaven,
And you cast me down below.
I used to call you beauty,
The way you set my heart ablaze,
You burnt it down to ashes,
And sent my mind into a daze.
Then I called you angel,
You graced me with your light,
I was never supposed to be in darkness,
But you brought eternal night.
Now I'm stuck here in the dark,
And you’ve stolen all my breath,
And I hope my dear that it is clear,
Why I now call you death.
And yet you’ve left me even so,
I cherished you like heaven,
And you cast me down below.
I used to call you beauty,
The way you set my heart ablaze,
You burnt it down to ashes,
And sent my mind into a daze.
Then I called you angel,
You graced me with your light,
I was never supposed to be in darkness,
But you brought eternal night.
Now I'm stuck here in the dark,
And you’ve stolen all my breath,
And I hope my dear that it is clear,
Why I now call you death.

Life for Rent
I've got a life for rent,
And it is going pretty cheap,
It's a little bit damaged and broken,
And it isnt much to keep.
So it's on sale, this life for rent,
It is tattered, ripped, and worn,
As I said before, it's cheap,
Used, abused, and torn.
So it matters not what you do with it,
I'll even give it away free,
I'm just tired of having to watch over it,
I just need to get it away from me.
It comes without a heart and soul,
If that helps decide.
There are some wounds and scars,
And secrets that still hide.
It's not worth much, A...

Tonight I will Forget You
Tonight I will forget you,
Tonight you'll slip my mind.
Tonight it seems I've lost you,
You are nowhere I can find.
Tonight you are so far away,
Tonight I'll sleep alone.
Tonight I feel you've gone astray,
Out with your heart of stone.
Tonight I will forget you,
I will forget my heart is sore,
Tonight I do not need you,
I can't take it anymore.
Tonight I will sleep soundly,
I will forget that you exist,
Tonight I will sleep proudly,
Knowing that I'll get through this.
Tired eyes and a tired mind,
That would never fall asleep,...
Tonight you'll slip my mind.
Tonight it seems I've lost you,
You are nowhere I can find.
Tonight you are so far away,
Tonight I'll sleep alone.
Tonight I feel you've gone astray,
Out with your heart of stone.
Tonight I will forget you,
I will forget my heart is sore,
Tonight I do not need you,
I can't take it anymore.
Tonight I will sleep soundly,
I will forget that you exist,
Tonight I will sleep proudly,
Knowing that I'll get through this.
Tired eyes and a tired mind,

Im Not Crazy
The walls they are unchanging,
And my mind is slowly slipping.
Just one phrase plays on repeat in my head,
Just like a record skipping.
I feel like I am doing well,
The doctor said I have improved,
All my sanity inside me,
I guess it was removed.
They lay me on a cold table,
And place my head between the shocks,
I start to laugh and smile,
As they restrain me with these locks.
I've been gone, a long long time,
Not physically, but my mind checked out.
I think I never really had it,
I never knew what it was all about.
I love the...

Medicate
A dozen doctors have said I'm sick
That I need to be set straight.
Your much too morbid for life young child,
So you must medicate.
A dozen bottles of pills and potions,
These will relax your mind, they say
It's important that you take them child
The dosage is three times a day.
Take one when you wake up,
To forget those nasty dreams,
Take one in the middle of the day,
To silence out those screams.
And take one before bed my child,
So you may sleep at night,
It will block out all the bad things,
So you won't wake in fright.
And...

This Love is Agony
You know what love?
I'm done with you!
And all this pain you've put me through!
I'm not a toy for when you get bored,
I'm sick and tired of being ignored.
Your love it surely was a crime,
A trick, a fake, a waste of time.
Goodbye to all those summer nights,
Goodbye to all those city lights,
Goodbye to kissing in the rain,
Goodbye to heartbreak, hurt and pain.
To hell with you!
You make me sick!
I'm glad this love was over quick!
This heart has handled far too much,
It is better off without your touch!
I'm better off without your...
I'm done with you!
And all this pain you've put me through!
I'm not a toy for when you get bored,
I'm sick and tired of being ignored.
Your love it surely was a crime,
A trick, a fake, a waste of time.
Goodbye to all those summer nights,
Goodbye to all those city lights,
Goodbye to kissing in the rain,
Goodbye to heartbreak, hurt and pain.
To hell with you!
You make me sick!
I'm glad this love was over quick!
This heart has handled far too much,
It is better off without your touch!

A Dance, A Devil, And the Sea
Down on the ocean,
Where the wind has ceased to blow,
A curtain of conformity,
Opened to a show.
And on that stage stood me,
On the ocean beach,
And opposite me, the devil,
Just close enough to reach.
The music strung up and we began,
Our dance that would not die,
For we have danced a thousand days,
And more, a thousand nights.
And forever we will dance and dance,
While waves then crash ashore,
And when the wave then crashes my heart,
I shall dance no more.
For I am forever keeping time,
With every step and beat,
Forever...
Where the wind has ceased to blow,
A curtain of conformity,
Opened to a show.
And on that stage stood me,

Our dance that would not die,
For we have danced a thousand days,
And more, a thousand nights.
And forever we will dance and dance,
While waves then crash ashore,
And when the wave then crashes my heart,
I shall dance no more.

'Til Death Do Us Part
Under the dying willow tree,
Is where my love betrothed to me,
With a smile yet sadness we could see,
Underneath that dying willow tree.
In this chamber we loved and spent,
Our time and love that I had lent,
To this pitiful bride by heaven sent,
Demon adored, yet heaven sent.
This love that betrothed to me,
Underneath that willow tree,
Where I loved her, but her not me,
There was no other quite like she.
For back in the chamber hearts are cold,
On opposite sides our love was sold,
For I watched the future gently fold,
And never again...
Is where my love betrothed to me,
With a smile yet sadness we could see,
Underneath that dying willow tree.
In this chamber we loved and spent,
Our time and love that I had lent,
To this pitiful bride by heaven sent,
Demon adored, yet heaven sent.
This love that betrothed to me,
Underneath that willow tree,
Where I loved her, but her not me,
There was no other quite like she.
For back in the chamber hearts are cold,
On opposite sides our love was sold,
For I watched the future gently fold,
And never again...
